Lovely blue hues and a fine specimen. A different angle might have captured more detail at the wing edges.

Thanks Tom - it was a chance snap shot - I was busy photographing orchids when this little guy settled down next to me... no real option to change tripod position etc.

Beautiful butterfly. More detail on the wings will be better.

Hi

A lovely image that captures the essence of this subject well - they are surprisingly difficult to get sharply focus throughout; I have tried many time and seceded only a few, everything has to come together at one, and the angles rarely do lol

A fine shot

All the best
Matthew
